Since this show is so addictive the box office should come up with a frequent visitor punch card. Every so many times you see the show you get a free ticket.
The Houston run of Forever Plaid at the Alley did exactly that. You could trade in your ticket stubs for various merchandise or a free ticket. Once they found out they had a lot of repeat visitors, they started encouraging the trend and it worked very well.
So we're talking about something great and exceptional here. And something that great and exceptional should run without stars.
You're absolutely right. Which is why Follies will never be great or exceptional to anyone. It can't even recoup WITH stars. And it's great to finally have one definitive opinion that invalidates all others, which used to be an impossibility, but not any more! Viva la censorship! Now that we've banned the use of "glorious" and "spellbinding" from any description or genuine feelings others may have with this show, we can finally free ourselves up from independent thought entirely. What a relief! I haven't seen the show yet but please, tell me how I'm feeling right now. You don't have to know anything about me or my life or my tastes or preferences. Just tell me what I think about everything I see and experience. I just want to know if I've been wrong all my life because you say so.
PS - For everyone else who has seen Once...please use every positive superlative you can to describe this show, especially if you feel it's true. Do it as often as you can. Obviously, you have no right to do so, but wouldn't it be fun to see what happens?
